[WIP] XForms.

Post » Wed Oct 29, 2014 2:55 pm

First, yes, still working on this project, currently "code named" "XForms" for a better word, may just keep that.

The premise:

A wizard outside a cave looks "shifty" and you approach him, and he takes a liking to you, then proceeds to knock you out. You wake up not yourself, he tells you, if you want to get back to normal, help him get the scroll to do it.

From here, you're basically his puppet (not literally speaking). At the whole end of the chaos that will ensue from this point onward, you'll eventually wind up with that scroll.

The scroll: Has spells in it that (during leveling the player) will grant you the ability to transform yourself OR anyone else into a creature (note, this can be dangerous, because those who are made into creatures will act like them). There is also a chance the spell being cast on someone can backfire onto you! Followers make great horses. And bartenders don't make good Spriggans, they run around murdering their patrons (they do, seriously).

I've been working to make this mod a "Master", so that more creature add-ons can be easily made (I've yet to finalize the tutorial for doing that, but the code is there and works, the base spells being added are done via the same method).

Currently in need of:

Assistance with dialogue woes, the wizard doesn't knock you out without talking to him directly, nor do you wake up with bleary eyes in another location. Mostly theatrics help here.

One scene the wizard is supposed to walk up to you and say his line (doesn't), then bumps into you and says "Oh, sorry!" (yeah, thats right). Again, theatrics help needed here.

No voice acting/lip syncing is done for any of the dialogue, anyone got any suggestions on how to properly get the lip syncing done, I've not done any of that, voice acting can be done, I have the equipment to record voice without background noise or ambience distortion.

Anyone have any suggestions, please, do. I'd like to finally get this mod out onto the Nexus & Steam, so that people can start to enjoy it.

I use the method listed under "Batch File Temporary File Copy" in http://deck16.net/post/23540663936/making-a-unique-voiced-follower-in-skyrim-part-4 to create lip sync files. And I use what's listed on this http://www.creationkit.com/How_to_generate_voice_files_by_batch to make fuz files. Note that you do not need the lip sync command if you follow the other tutorial. The fuz files are a fraction of the size of wav files and make for a smaller archive. :D
